I'm just calling a large percentage of the time here..but I'm gonna play devil's advocate.

How about a raise to 550-600? This screams big hand and should give you an accurate read as to where the villain is. (At the very least, it will get JJ to puke in their mouth)

Villain pushes = you're beat

Villain folds = donkey delicious

Villain calls = tough spot, I agree. Assuming the villain is a thinking player (not a terribly good chance, considering "push-raise-button" raise), what hands do we put villain on now?

My guess would be 77-JJ, AJ+. along those lines.

How about we bet 500 on any flop (assuming you didn't hit a monster)?

Wishful thinking, but we are hoping for one of two things:

1) 77-JJ = overcards came to his pair and he lays it down

2) Rags come and he lays down AJ+

If he comes over the top - lay it down (poopy)

If he just calls on the flop - shut it down.

Again, I'd hate to be in this situation, but is it a viable alternative?
